Illinois

Illinois: 21st state, Chicago, corn, Rod Blagojevich, Cubs, Bears, Bulls, Hawks, White Sox*, and multiple music scenes.

The band Illinois didn't take root in Illinois like the corn, though. They come by way of Bucks County, PA in the south-eastern part of the state. Until today, the band had only released a series of EPs, which collectively became their first LP The Adventures of Kid Catastrophe.

Illinois is Chris Archibald, Martin Hoeger, JohnPaul Kuyper, Dan Pawlovich, and Chris Shepherd.

*the White Sox are the other baseball team from Chicago... but I'd gladly let any other state take them.
